Theoretical Comparison, Equivalent Transformation, and Conjunction Operations of Electromagnetic Induction Generator and Triboelectric Nanogenerator for Harvesting Mechanical Energy

摘要: Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is a newly invented technology that effective using conventional organic materials with functionalized surfaces for converting mechanical energy into electricity, which light weight, cost-effective and easy scalable. Here, we present the first systematic analysis comparison of EMIG TENG from their working mechanisms, governing equations output characteristics, aiming at establishing complementary applications two technologies harvesting various energies. The equivalent transformation conjunction operations power sources external circuit are also explored, provide appropriate evidences can be considered as current source large internal resistance, while to voltage small resistance. theoretical experimental validations presented in this paper establish basis new could parallel or possibly equivalently important general application large-scale. It opens field chemists scientists who time electricity high efficiency.
